Professionals
The Local Authority, and therefore all professionals, have a responsibility to identify and support young carers and to help them access an assessment of their needs.

- Input at meetings explaining how to identify and support young carers
- Staff training
- School Assemblies
- Workshops for young people
- Representation at networks and awareness raising events
- Speakers at events
- INSET sessions
